Gordon Brothers appointed Samantha Findley to the position of director, special situations in Australia. Findley will help clients to use Gordon Brothers’ balance sheet and the company’s knowledge to resolve liquidity issues and execute restructuring programs.
Findley has more than 15 years of experience as a workout banker, restructuring and insolvency professional and client advisor. In her new role, she will steer clients through operational challenges and lead deals from initial concept and origination to final execution and portfolio management. Findley will be based in Gordon Brothers’ Sydney office.

Findley previously worked for an Australian bank where she headed a countrywide team that managed the bank’s small- and medium-sized client impaired asset portfolio. She has an understanding of the Australian market, as she has held roles in some of the country’s largest restructuring transactions.
